One of the main arguments put forth by those who support the idea of the Magic of Making Up review scam is that author T.W. Jackson has no official training. They claim the experiences that he gained during his military career are not a legitimate source of advice. Jackson started his career in the U.S. military when he was seventeen years old. He gained the opportunity travel extensively and learned about how people from different cultures interacted. He noticed how couples from different cultures resolved conflict. In addition, he noticed how his fellow soldiers who were in relationships handled the pressure that came with being in the army. The knowledge on human behavior and emotions that he gained during his military career enabled him to become a good source of counseling and advice to his friends and family, and became the main source for the book Magic of Making Up. To conclude, it is unfair to accuse Jackson as being a scam artist. In addition, the book has excellent reviews that show that it is not a scam.
